I just broke a guitar string making fun of Waking the Cadaver. I don't know if it was worth it.

Braking is part and ultimately the closure of a string's life cycle as a sound and music producing entity. Strings exists to vibrate and when they can no longer do that efficiently they should brake heroicaly or be doomed to forever lay forgotten in oblivion or lost in musical limbo. So either your string was not worth the note you tried to play or its time had come and fell with valor and defiance. Whichever it was, you should not fret about it much really!

Yeah, I think it's time had probably come. I'm not really fretting (zing!) it, it's just that I'm lazy and cheap, so I'm just going to grumble for a while before I buy new strings. And Waking the Cadaver sucks.

BRAIN DRILL HAS BROKEN UP, HERE IS WHY...

SO BEFORE ALL OF YOU GET PISSED I NEED YOU ALL TO CLEARLY READ THIS AND I ( DYLAN) HOPE EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE I’M COMING FROM.

3 of the 4 members of brain drill being steve, marco and jeff all have huge weed smoking habbits if you hadn’t already noticed. I dylan do not and couln’t be more aggainst smoking weed i don’t have a problem if you do it but just be smart about it. Before we left for this tour with the black dahlia murder and animosity I told them a million times not to bring weed, pipes or papers with them in the van because we are literally driving across the country and the last thing we need is to get pulled over and arrested for posession of marijuana. The laws in california are nothing compared to the laws in other states. And of course they don’t listen to a word i say and go ahead and bring pipes weed, papers and jeff even brought an ounce of mushrooms. Sure enough we get pulled over rite outside of salt lake city utah. Emediatley after the 3 of them had just smoked a blunt. So needless to say the car completely smelled like weed. So the cop comes up to the window and the first thing he says is " i smell pot", so sure enough they take us out of the car and they completely search the entire van. They tear everyhting apart and even use a k-9 dog to sniff out everything. Sure enough they find all of marco steve and jeffs weed, they find 6 pipes and they even find jeffs ounce of mushrooms. At that point i was convinced that we were going to jail but for whatever reason they let us go. After we pulled away i (dylan) told them " from now on the rule of the band is to not ever bring weed pipes or other illegal drugs into the van and also not to smoke inside the van" jeffs response was " i don’t think thats gonna happen bro" so sure enough they neglected to listen to me and the next day there was more weed pipes and smoking accessories in the van. So we then get pulled over another 4 times before we make it to our first show. Miracualously we didn’t get searched again. SO we play the tour with bdm and we had an awesome time. Our last show was supposed to be in buffalo new york. Keep in mind they all still have weed and pipes in the van. So we start driving and soon we see a sign for canada, I asked everyone it looks llike we are headed for canada are you guys sure we shouldn’t stop and turn around??? jeffs response was " no it would say it on the gps if we were headed there" i even took a wrong turn and as we were looking for the freeway i asked again "are you sure we are going the rite way?? the sign says canada strate ahead" no one answered me so i continued to drive. Sure enough we get to the canadian border after i had said i have a feeling we are going to canada. Sure enough they ask us for our passports i said we only have our id’s. We show the guy our id’s he then writes us a ticket and makes us pull over to the side. The guy said " since you guys don’t have passports we are going to have to search yuor vehicle". sure enough they find marco jeff’s and steves weed. For whatever reason steve and jeff start to flip out on the border patrol cops and start cursing and saying "this is bullshit, this is the first and last time i’m ever coming to canada" etc. The cops asked " why are you guys making this such a big deal??" they responded "because this is bullshit" etc. The cop then responded " well since you think it’s bullshit we are now going to give all of you FULL BODY CAVITY SEARCHES". So I was the first one to get searched. They completely stripped me naked had me lift my ballsack up so they could check underneath it, and then they had me bend over and spread my asscheaks apart so they could look inside my asshole. After they finished searching all of us needless to say we were never going to make it to the buffalo show in time. All of this shit could have been prevented if they had just listened to me when i said dont bring weed and pipes in the van. I had done nothing wrong but becuase people in the van didn’t listen to me i was stripped naked and had to go through the most humiliatiing experience of my life. Since we couldn’t make it to that show we figured we would just drive to tinley park. At this point i am so mad i thought to myself " i can either beet the shit out of all of them , scream my head off at them or just keep calm and quiet". I figured i would be mature and keep quiet. After we checked into the hotel room they told me " we are going to the promoters house" they didn’t say they we going to go set up and get ready for the show they just said "we are going to the promoters house" So i sat there and waited. My phone had died so i figured they were going to just come pick me up at the hotle when it was time to play the show. Sure enough several hours go by and finally by 1:am they show up to the room grap there stuff hop into the van and drive off. They had completelty desserted me in chicago with no way of getting home. I was lucky enough to stop them so i could get a small amount of cash so that i could atleast take a taxi to the airport. It was a 309 dolar flight one way from chicago back to san jose california but i had no choice. So after all of this happend none of them bother to apolagize even once the entire trip after i hap warend them several times about the consequences of keeping weed in the van and none of them listened. I am sorry but being stripped naked and having you scrotum and butthole spread open for doing nothing wrong is where i draw the line. The ironic thing is that all of them acted like it was my fault that all of that shit happened. So after they all got home i told them " i am willing to talk if you guys have something to say" no one replied , so i said " then are you guys done??" and they said " yes" so as of now I am the only one left in brain drill. I hope to some day atleast do one last recording but for now its all over.

Last week, Dallas officials reviewed the numbers and decided that a quarter of the cameras they had installed to catch motorists running red lights were too effective. So they shut them down.

They are not alone. Faced with data showing that drivers pay attention to cameras at intersections — resulting in fewer ticketable violations and ever-shrinking revenue from fines — municipalities across the country are reconsidering red light cameras, which often work too well.

As drivers learn where the cameras are, they are more careful. Fewer of them run red lights. Local governments collect fewer fines.

Fewer violations = less revenue
Sometimes, as in Dallas, cameras generate so little revenue that they can’t even pay for themselves.

Posted this in the recent purchases thread, but I'm feeling pretty good because I made a haul of:

Emperor--Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Converge--Jane Doe
Lost Horizon--Awakening the World
Neurosis--Through Silver in Blood

Woo-hoo. Four classics in one order...

Also, it's spring break, although I'm nearing the end...but still. Been in Seattle the past few days, which was fun.

Legacy Of The Night · **Posted:** Fri Mar 28, 2008 1:47 am

Jane Doe is one of the best albums ever.
